This can lead to earlier detection, timely treatment, and ultimately, better outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

  • Online colorectal health questionnaires use validated algorithms. They are generally good at providing an estimated risk level. Their accuracy increases when you provide accurate, up-to-date medical information.

    These questionnaires are excellent educational tools and conversation starters with your doctor. However, they are not a substitute for a doctor's visit and a thorough medical evaluation. Your doctor can combine your risk score with other clinical findings, your personal history and their expertise. This will give you the most accurate assessment of your colorectal cancer health. If you get a result that concerns you, the next step should always be to discuss it with your primary care physician.

  • Discover your personal risk for colorectal cancer with a quick, evidence-based questionnaire. It provides personalized insights and resources for colorectal cancer. This questionnaire helps you understand your current risk level and identifies specific contributing factors. These include age, family history, and lifestyle choices.

    Based on your insights, you will receive personalized recommendations for lifestyle changes. These include dietary changes and exercise. The questionnaire empowers you with knowledge to make informed decisions, motivates lifestyle changes, and guides medical discussions. After you complete it, you will get a detailed summary of your risk factors, steps to reduce them, and an option to connect with a primary care physician.
